Abstract: A professional video converter is a video signal processing device built for audio-video applications to convert from one video format to another. It includes a heavy-duty enclosure, an electronic circuit to convert/distribute/scale/buffer/amplify video and/or audio and an internal power supply unit. The power supply comes from a mains-level electrical input connector. An additional electrical output connector may be added to power extra equipment. The unit can be installed and suspended safely, thanks to a built-in rigging thread and attachment points on its enclosure. The unit may be placed securely on any surface using the rubber pad, and magnets allow clean stacking of multiple devices. The connectors are also protected by the specific shape of the enclosure of the converter.
